That is really interesting and a good point (about collecting water). I replaced it exactly like the old one was placed. It is the only way it would go as if I turned it to the way you show it, the screw location would be on the wrong side (the locator pin is on the lehft with the hscrew on the right). Unless someone flipped it upside down and forced a screen through the old locator pin hole. I don't know if that would be related to my issue, but it should be flipped over anyway. I'll try it!
